    Love coming here whenever we are in town! It is a must! Delicious margaritas! Great atmosphere! Outstanding burritos! Excellent service!

    Cadillac Margaritas

    Hi if you're looking for authentic Mexican food look no further. This is the best place the food is excellent and the Cadillac margaritas are the best in town. Me and my husband have been going there for years. The staff is amazing and the ambiance is great.

    Vegetarian Burrito
    Cleo M.

    Food- The food was good, and had a great portion size. It came out nice and hot. The vegetarian burrito had plenty of vegetables inside with cheese and green sauce on top. The rice and beans were tasty and super filling--that I took half the portion to go. Service- We came here for Mother's Day lunch around 11am. There was plenty of parking when we arrived. As soon as we entered, we were greeted and one of the hostess gave my mom a rose which I thought was super sweet. We were seated outside (even though we preferred inside dining on our reservation). After we were seated, we were immediately given water, chips and salsa. There was a man that came table-to-table to sing songs which we enjoyed. Our server was kind and respectful, but forgot to fill my water until the very end. I had asked for a refill after he brought our food, but he didn't notice until last minute when we were done eating. It was hot during our lunch, and I wish our server offered to turn the fan on and occasionally refilled our waters. Overall, this place is a nice place to eat once in a while. I suggest dining in at night during the summer for a better experience, since the weather is getting hot. Everyone was kind when we walked in, but attentiveness in guest service needs a little improvement.

    One Chicken Burrito. Chunky (not shredded) chicken. Wonderful!

    I've eaten at El Mirasol several times since my first visit in 2002. Very casual atmosphere, fantastic, friendly service and delicious food. n this night I had the One Chicken Burrito. Chunks of chicken, tasty sauce and huge portion! My Cadillac margarita was strong and delicious, too! I highly recommend!

    Another delightful afternoon on their patio. Fortunately, we arrived early at noon on a 3 day weekend Sunday because the patio was full by the time we left. I loved my poblano chiles with black beans and stole some of my hubby's handmade corn tortillas because they are the best. My new favorite drink is the vodkarita with all the taste of a margarita and none of the tequila, which is no bueno para mi. Our server was friendly, and food arrived quickly despite the crowd. We had time to be serenaded by the strolling guitarist singing my favorite Paloma Blanca, which made for a romantic lunch on the sunny patio on a warm afternoon.

    Hello! VEGAN OPTION HERE. I got the veggie burrito with beans. They seemed pretty knowledgeable on veganism. BUT if you are the type of vegan that minds cross contamination, this place is NOT for you. Unfortunately I found a little piece of cheese, but I just wiped it off my plate. ‍( didn't want to make ir awkward ) ... Anyway. Would I do back? NO. It's just nice that they have an option.

    Nice patio dining!

    El Mirasol is a hidden gem for in the know residents of Palm Springs. Associated with Los Arboles Hotel on the corner of Indian Canyon and Tamarisk. Dining is inside or on their spacious, quiet patio. During Sunday brunch, a strolling guitarist strolls about, offering "canciones" for your enjoyment. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Our server, Jesus was very helpful in making a choice for my wife, who has dietary issues. The menu has all your Mexican favorites. The portions are good and well presented. Prices are very reasonable.. Tortillas are hand made on site and have to be experienced to be believed! I had the chorizo and eggs with beans. About $14. My Mimosa was only $6. Both were perfect for a relaxed Sunday brunch on the patio.

    The entrance located near the parking lot. The lot is located behind the building.

This meant Marilyns everywhere, including the waiters, which made the experience that much more fun. Aside from that, we had made reservations ahead of time thankfully, because it was BUSY. But we were sat just as soon as we had arrived, and despite it being very hot out at the time, they had a bunch of shaded spots with misting fans. The drinks were fantastic, including mine which was a zero-proof mocktail. We all ordered different chicken dishes, and each one received high praise. I was able to try each of them and I was very happy with my fajitas, but I gotta give the nachos their dues. They were just as good. Chips were crispy all the way through, and not one was soggy from all the ingredients. Loved it, will definitely be back when I visit again. Id also like to mention that we chose this place as my friend's Bachelor Party closing dinner, and he couldn't have been happier. He was so thrilled with how the weekend had gone, that dining at Clandestino's really was the cherry on top. Thank you for making our dining experience such a pleasant one.

The nachos were definitely the star of the food for me. The portions here are BIG, so they're perfect for sharing, and the nachos would absolutely be one of my recommendations if you're coming here. I also got the Lychee Pisco Sour and it was soooo good. Refreshing, flavorful and one of those drinks that goes down a little too easily We tried the margarita flights too, which were fun because you get to taste a few different flavors. Management actually comped our flights, which was such a nice touch! We sat outside and honestly it was perfect. They have misting fans going, so even with that Palm Springs heat, you really don't feel it fr . I was also pleasantly surprised that flies weren't really an issue. We only started noticing them here and there once it got darker outside. Overall, great service, really good drinks, generous portions and a nice outdoor vibe. If you're visiting Palm Springs, I'd definitely recommend stopping by Clandestino -- and get the nachos for sure!

We stopped by around 3 p.m. on a Wednesday and sat at the bar. It wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxing experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. For food, we ordered the fish ceviche, taquitos dorados, and the birria tacos. They definitely don't skimp on the portions. Everything is generously sized and perfect for sharing. I especially loved the salsa that came with the taquitos dorados, and the birria was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The birria tacos and taquito dorados were easily my favorite and something I'd absolutely order again. Of course, I had to try a few of their margaritas! I sampled the Classic Felipe, Jamaica, and Guava margaritas. The guava margarita was hands down my favorite. Overall, it's a great spot with delicious food, refreshing drinks, generous portions, and excellent happy hour deals. Be sure to check out their happy hour menu, you won't be disappointed!

Service was very attentive and the servers were very quick. We enjoyed our 1st time and definitely plan to come back!

The only positive is the decor,it's nice and has a cool Polynesian/mid-century vibe. That's where anything good ends. The service was terrible. We asked about specials as first-time customers, and our waitress conveniently failed to mention the Taco Tuesday deal. Instead, she rushed us to order. We later realized we ordered multiple taco plates that should have qualified for the special, but she never said a word. The food was even worse. I ordered fajitas, and what I was served was completely unacceptable,no vegetables, no resemblance to fajitas, just chopped chicken covered in chorizo and tomato sauce. It was disgusting. I took one bite and couldn't eat it. I planned to send it back, but the waitress disappeared and never came back to the table. I was stuck with it and only ate the sides, which tasted like reheated frozen vegetables and a small cup of beans. Despite barely touching the food and not receiving what I ordered, I was still charged as if everything was fine,about $22 for a plate I couldn't eat. When I finally addressed it, she insisted it was "fajitas," which is honestly ridiculous. To top it off, when my husband asked for a box, the waitress came back after handling cash and used her bare hands,with long acrylic nails,to grab his taco and put it in the container. That is completely unsanitary and unacceptable. Bad service, disgusting food, and poor hygiene. I will not be returning and will be reporting this place to the health department. Avoid this place. Warning Positive reviews are obviously coming from ownership friends.
